1.2.4 Expanding a general category
Adding a new category
A group of instructions via which instructions can be displayed is stored behind a
general category heading.
A line for the category definition contains the following 3 parameters:
Category definition
Technology code "r"/Category ID/Category name
In this case, the text file could contain the following line:
r/2/Travel commands
r is a predefined setting for category declarations.
2 is the category ID used to assign instructions to the
category.
Travel commands category name.
The "/" character separates the parameters and may only be used as a text
character in the last parameter.
The length of the category name is limited by the display and may not, for example,
exceed 40 characters with a standard type size of 8pt.
The following category IDs are reserved:
Table 1-2 Category IDs
